Ratnachal Express
4. Simhadri Express
5. Visakhapatnam Tirupati Double Dekker
6. Visakhapatnam Machilipatnam Express
7. Rayagada Guntur express.

It's strange that there is no press briefings fron SCR Vijayawada Division which has cancelled the trains and just putting notification in SCR website.

Re# 6104863-4              
Just now seen restoration notification in youtube Bhimavaram kittayya and Myway railway that Janmabhoomi, Circar and Kakinada Vijayawada MEMU are restores from tomorrow. There is one more bonus Janmabhoomi and MEMU are cancelled even from Sep 16th till OCT 15 when peak Dussera Holiday season which I haven't seen till now. Couldn't understand what SCR Vijayawada divisional officials are? Hopeless decisions and officials. How could SCR zonal office and RB go in dark about the cancellations ftom past 1 year and traffic is decreasing in SCR.

Doesn't matter when lack of accountability continues to exist for the past one year. Public already got fed up with this lacklustre cancellations. Point is there are no big rail associations who continuously demand for train services. Station consultative committee exists people from particular station can be part of it but all the 5 people are nominated within the ruling party itself. The members who don't have any interests or knowledge will also be present in the committe. Now how can we expect these people to demand for anything. Coming to Dussera they have their own plans to run tod specials. You can replace the person but not his ideas in cancelling the trains.

Janmabhoomi is restored from today and status shows current availability in GS and 3E which is due to cancellation and restoration at short notice the tatkal and premium tatkal may not be opted yesterday. The current availability 8n GS decreased to 20 seats and 3E another 10 seats are booked. Due to cancellation and confusion the seats are available in Tenali SC section too.

The train took 43 mins for 42km from RJY to Tadepalliguem which is the normal running time in the
section as usual what for the cancellation? Theu can easily manage Janmabhoomi and night trains.

Meter Gauge Chronicles. A journey in one of the last remaining mainline MG routes.

1. BRK-MLN MG Express being shunted on PF-1 of Bahraich. Meanwhile GD-BRK DEMU in background in background preparing for it's return journey.

2.
...

Machine, man and nature. Our train departing from the laidback settings of Manjhara Poorab.

3. Daily life and the daily commuters of the train. Most of the travellers boarded to reach their daily jobs in Risiya. Teachers, shopkeepers, nurses, policeman, peons, everyone on the train seemed to know each other.

4. A curious child looking out of the window. He kept asking his father about everything he saw. That's how I became a railfan, too.

5. Lines meeting and going deep into the Katarniaghat wildlife sanctuary.

6, 7. Traversing through the Dudhwa national park.

8. Approaching the mighty Ghaghra barrage. It was quite scary sitting on the gate and recording while the river churned below.

9. A semaphore signal and a railway employee returning after setting the signal to Stop.

10. That one's obvious. The little devil snatched my samosa and hid below the train.

11. Our pairing train going back to Bahraich, running back into the Katarniaghat sanctuary after emerging from Dudhwa.

12. A busy Nanpara Junction bustling with activity. Train halted here for almost an hour. You can go out and buy things to eat. Or you can buy bread-pakoras or samosas being freshly made on the PF. The huge old tree gives the feels of old times and may remind you of Malgudi Days.

13. The said bread-pakora. Along with the samosa it was quite delicious, although a bit oily to my liking.

14. A IZN YDM-4 stands tall at it's base, Mailani.

15. The MG yard of Mailani. You can spot a wide variety of YDM-4s, GS and Vistadome tourist coaches here. Along with a few freight vans and brake vans.

16. Located a few meters away from the station, beyond the yard is the loco maintenance shed of Mailani, most probably managed by IZN.

17. Mailani yard with all the MG coaches and locos with the coaching depot visible in the background.

18. Where MG meets electrified BG. BRK-MLN MG Express on PF-3 while my next connecting train MLN-GKP Express standing on PF-1.

I did this journey on 31/06/2022. And except LKO-GD, the entire LKO-MLN-LJN journey was on a station bought general ticket. The train was clean, washrooms were clean and were fully functional. Although same can't be said for the electrical elements.

I was also quite surprised that people boarding the train from the stations mid-jungle, too traveled with valid tickets. They were helpful and interacting with them, learning about their slow lives in remote areas was an experience in itself.

Kumud.

Probably, the Mailani-Nanpara section, because technically they can't convert it, as it passes through a wildlife sanctuary and a national park.

Or if they're only concerned with running tourist specials like other MG sections, they may even trim it short to end at Bichhia in Dudhwa, the current tourist special runs till there only.

Useful:Thank you for the information 😊 Useful
Earlier, the Gonda-05371-05355-Mailani-15010-Lucknow used to be the most effective chain, with all the trains in sync and wait times less than half an hour.

Now, with the gauge conversion, it's quite hectic. You should either reach Gonda, take a UP Roadways or auto to Nanpara, and then continue further using the same chain.

Or,
...

reach Mailani by some early morning train, take the train to Nanpara, deboard there, take a UP roadways or auto to Bahraich. Take the evening DEMU to Gonda and carry on further.

Or, just take the Tourist special to Bichhia, do a round trip back to Mailani, and take the 15010 to LJN. But this won't take you through the whole route and will be full of unmannered 'tourists'.

Please keep in mind that the journey is slow, and after the initial excitement wears off, it gets boring after the jungle ends if you're traveling solo. There is no network in the national park areas. And except for Nanpara I couldn't find anything to eat.

Thankyou :)

No, they won't convert it. It'd be preserved as a heritage route from Mailani to Nanpara. There would probably be a new BG alignment bypassing both the wildlife sanctuaries, from Nanpara to Mailani.

This train was originally started for Nanded then extended to Nagpur then it was short-terminated at Adilabad and is now extended till Balharshah and looking at TAT at BPQ it might now go to Gondia. What CR and SCR are doing with this train?

Agree
CR has all sorts of excuses for not introducing intra state trains in MH. Barring few trains to Konkan and a few towards NGP, CR hardly runs any holiday specials within the state. Even the ones running to Konkan now are weeklies or biweeklies. I remember there used to be daily specials in all seasons towards konkan but that too has become history.
Either they dont introduce trains to interior MH or come up with some weekly trains with absurd and slow schedules which are bound to fail and they cancel it due to lack of patronage
